Training

Billy,
From the moment we heard you were coaching this team Marty, Charlie and I were thrilled for Charlie to have the oppotunity to learn from a coach of your caliber. If it wasn't obvious already, we want you to know how much we truly appreciate all you have done this season for the development of Charlie and the team. You clearly have a genuine concern for the deveopment and success of each child you instruct. Charlie has enjoyed being part of your team and has learned so much...and we've enjoyed watching from the sidelines. Thanks.

Mike and I would like to take this opportunity and thank Mike Byrne for being such an amazing coach. Matthew learned so much from him. This was Matt's first time ever playing AAU and it was an incredible experience for all of us. Matt misses his coach and team already! Thank you and Billy for all your hard work. Very much appreciated for all that you do. Emily really enjoyed the Dream Academy. She is looking forward to playing CYO this year and using all her new knowledge that she learned.

I came home to find my son had cleaned his room without being told! I asked him what happened and he said that Billy had said some things that made sense about taking responsibility. I had been saying things all along and it had no affect. He said those talks help. Keep up the good work!

Daniel has loved working on his basketball game in both the camps and classes. He gets so much out of it both in basketball instruction and life lessons. He is aging out of the camps and classes now. But I wanted to let you and Billy know how wonderful and inspirational it has been for him.

I want to thank Billy, Lauren, Chris and the Hoop Dreamz team for a great season. In my opinion, the program is teaching exactly the right content, ranging from seeing the court and not being afraid of flesh-to-flesh contact to respect for coaches and parents and trust in your teammates. The boys made friends, got great coaching, improved their games and had fun. It is what youth sports is all about. The lessons I personally learned by attending every practice will be passed along to the Woodcliff Lake Travel Team this Winter. Thanks again.

Just a quick note to say thank you for your support of Colin and the U11 White team this Fall season. I could see lots of progress in Colin from the early part of the season all the way up to the championship game last night. Nothing like lots of court time to improve on the game. Also, Colin did not know any of the boys prior to the season and it took a little time for him to get comfortable, but as the season went on you could see Colin and all of the boys were more comfortable with each other and each other’s play as time went on too. They did well to jell as a team. Thanks again for all your support…Please pass my thanks onto Coach Mike as well, he deserves lots of the thanks too.

We have been very impressed by your program from both a skills development perspective as well as sportsmanship. Outstanding in the true sense of the word. Thank you!

Billy - Have a great season with Bergen Catholic and thank you for all you did and continue to do for both our girls. Your work and Frank's work always shines through them. We always feel very sad in the fall when they all move on to their winter teams. You guys create more than just players you create a warm and caring atmosphere for all in that gym. You guys especially with my middle one Angeanette have created lasting friendships and a feeling of family. For all this and so much more I thank you both.

I just wanted to tell you how much fun Mikey had at camp last week. This was only the second time he had been to a camp, and I can't express how much he loved it. Not only did he get to play his favorite sport, he learned so much from Billy and made new friends.
Thank you for providing him with such a wonderful experience!

Matthew LOVES going to your camp, as he always feels accepted, even though he has athletic limitations. I wanted to email you to let you know what a difference you are making in children's lives. Matthew has autism, he is high functioning and mainstreamed, however his social skills limit his ability to make friends, and unfortunately he gets picked on or excluded quite a bit. This year the lack of acceptance took a toll on Matthew and each day has been a struggle to get him to go to school because he does not like being around kids, since he feels so alone. However, the one thing that put a smile on his face and he said he would do is your camp! I cannot tell you what those words meant to us. You give hope to kids who are hopeless. You create an atmosphere of acceptance and kindness. You are making a difference! Thank you for being a light in the darkness for Matt this summer, and for encouraging him to be positive and make the best of life. We appreciate ALL that you do and only wish your message could be spread in every school daily! Have a great day and THANK YOU!!
